Description
1916-D Dime, MS64 Full Bands
'Liberty,' 'Peace,' and 'Unity' Design
1916-D 10C MS64 Full Bands NGC. The Mint Directors Annual
Report of 1916 summarized the symbolism of Adolph Weinman's Mercury
dime design:"The design of the dime, owing to the smallness of the coin, has been held quite simple. The obverse shows a head of Liberty with winged cap. The head is firm and simple in form, the profile forceful. The reverse shows a design of the bundle of rods, with battle-ax, known as 'Fasces,' and symbolic of unity, wherein lies the Nation's strength. Surrounding the fasces is a full-foliaged branch of olive, symbolic of peace."
The new dime was well-received artistically, making its commercial debut in late 1916. However, coinage at the Denver Mint was suspended after only 264,000 strikings in order that an immediate demand for quarter dollars from the banks be filled. Dime production did not resume until 1917, forever stunting the mintage of the 1916-D issue and creating one of the most sought-after key dates of the 20th century. This near-Gem Full Bands example displays sharp detail and satiny luster with a blush of umber and champagne toning. A few faint grazes are all that prevent a full MS65 designation.
